Lift near Surprise, AZ

I need to replace the Fuel Pump and Sending Unit in my Trans Am. Is there a place in the West Valley, preferably in Surprise where I can rent a lift. I would rather not cut an access door since I am replacing the sending unit as well.

You can do this on the ground. Will need to get the car on jack stands and lower the rear axle assembly to the ground. Remove anything that is in the way and you can get this job done. I just did this for a friend about 2 weeks ago. I've done mine as well. If you need help with direction, PM me.

Do things the right way. How often are you changing your pump? Shouldn't have to do it too often that cutting the hole is necessary.

I'm planning to do it the proper way since like I said I have a new sending unit going in along with the pump. I don't want to cut that much metal. Hopefully my friend will have time this weekend and we will just put the car up on jack stands. Thanks for the help.

I went cheap the first time and went to autozone up the road, worked for about two weeks. I also figured I was gonna have to change it when I swap the lt1 save myself any headaches there
